I have always been a fan of cold poached fish. I find the larger flaked fish like hapuka, bluenose, warehou, etc work best for this sort of thing. Texturally as well as flavour wise, this works a dream.
Ingredients
| 1 splash | Olive oil | 
| 1 loaf | Ciabatta bread | 
| 2 | Lemons, juiced | 
| 1 pinch | Flaky sea salt | 
| 2 fillets | White fish | 
| 1 cup | Mayonnaise | 
| 1 handful | Roasted capsicum | 
| 1 | Lemon, squeeze to serve | 
| 1 pinch | Smoked paprika | 
Directions
- Slice some ciabatta and brush with olive oil. Grill until crisp around the edges.
 - Place a large skillet or frying pan over high heat, fill ¾ with water and bring to a simmer.
 - Season water with the juice of 2 lemons and flaky sea salt.
 - Lay fresh fish fillets in the water and allow to gently poach for a few minutes until nearly cooked through.
 - Remove from the heat and let the fish cool in the cooking liquid.
 - Spoon some mayonnaise into a bowl, then add some roasted capsicum.
 - With a wand blender or similar, blitz them together.
 - Now fold through some more mayonnaise, some diced, roasted capsicums and a pinch of smoked paprika.
 - Season to taste. Drain fish from poaching liquor, break into large flakes and portion on to bruschetta.
 - Dollop mayo on each one, and finish with a squeeze of lemon.
